Success Wins.

There is no disputing the truth Of
the fact conveyed by that celebrated
proverb of Horace Greeley's: Nothing
succeeds like success"
Mr.. Greeley evidently intended to
convey the idea of the general inclina-
ton of the times to help boom" any
enterprise that was successful, while
the undertaking that Jagged and really
needed aid and encouragement was left
to shift for itself.
A story paper, however, must have
real merit before it will secure the
patronage and support of the public.
If it succeeds, it is conceded that 1T
deserves success. 1t might be said that
a story paper that deserves success will
succeed, and its success is evidence OF
merit.
The success of the Chicago Ledger
is fiattering compliment to the man
agement, and it is hoped that the sup
port and confidence bestowed by an
appreciative public may be continued
and sacredly maintained. The Ledger
is successfully succeeding and certainly
has bright future before it. Persons
desiring sample copies can secure them
free by sending their names to the
office. Don't fail to read the thrilling

Wonderful Richard Donovan.

There recently died at Potsdam, st.
Lawrence County, Richard Donovan,
who was in some respects one OF the
most remarkable men in Northern New
York. Twenty years ago, when a boy,
Donovan lived in this city and worked
in flour mill. One day he was caught
in belt and received injuries that ne
cessitated taking off both arms at the
shoulders.
This great misfortune did not dis
courage him, and after recovering his
health he set about earning his liveli-
hood as best he could without the use
of hands or arms. Part of the time he
had lived alone, and from the necessity
of helping himself he became wonder
fully adept in performing all kinds OF
work, using his feet and mouth princi-
pally. He owned horse of which he
took the entire care, harnessed it, fast
ened and unfastened the buckles with
his teeth, and drove with the reins tied
around his shoulders. Being in need
of wagon, he bought wheels and axles
and built box buggy complete and
painted it.
He went to the barn one winter day
Der with his feet, and, with the hammer
in one foot and holding the nail with
the other, he nailed the boards on as
well as most men could with their
hands. He dug well twelve feet deep
on farm in this town and stoned it
himself. He could NOW away hay by
holding the fork under his chin and
letting it rest against his shoulder. He
would pick up potatoes in the field as
fast as man could dig them. He would
dress himself, get his meals, write his
letters, and, in fact, do almost anything
that man with two arms could do. He
was engaged for some time with Thorn
as Collins, of Potsdam, in the sale of
bugges and sleighs, and has lately been
engaged in buying and selling hides and
pelts. By his industry and frugality he
succeeded in amassing q snug little
property-owned a house and lot, and
was worth in all about two thousand
dollars. - WdtertOlCR Times.

Matchmaking in France.

Besancon, in the old province OF
Franche Comte, is the center of watch
making in France. In 1877, ADS, 754
watches, of which 296,7e3 were silver,
passed through the Hallmarking es-
tablishment. Those watches repre-
sented an amount of 24,000,0 900 francs.
The population of Besancon living
upon the watch industry is 1900.
Besancon possesses a school of horol-
ogy and an observatory. This last has
q department. used by watch manufac-
turers for the purpose of timing watch
es. The village of Cluses also, whose
working population is about 1000,
makes watch movements, pinions,
wheels, wheel-cutters, keyless works,
and sundry detached pieces, su Ii as
barrel-arbors, ETC., to the value oil
1,500, 900 francs; most of that produc-
ton is sent to Switzerland. Cluses
possesses also a school of Matchmaking
of good repute. Watch glasses are
produced in sufficient quantities al
Trois Fontaines to supply the whole
world. Their value is fixed at $780,
900 francs.
Last, but not least, comes Paris, the
cradle OF Sucn horologlStS as Ihlout,
Antide, Janvier, Leroy, Berthoud,
Breguet, etc. Paris manufactures ship
chronometers, regulators, and tu,ret
clocks, finishes those French clocks SO
we'll known here, the movements OF
which come from BEAUFORT, st.
Nicholas, and the making of their ar
tistic cases engages good many work
ers. Paris also largely
clock material, such as anchors, pin
ions, maiDsprings, hands, dials, cleo
trio pparatus-fnished by watchmAk-
ers, who number about 5000. Paris,
besides delivering to the trade $50, 900
clocks, 100000 eight-day and one-day
alarms, tell-tales, etc., is the great EN-.
porium for the sale of watches. 1t has
school of horology, which bids fair to
become the best of France. Saunier
concludes his report in estimating thus
the total of the Matchmaking produc-
ton of France: Besancon, 24,000,00
Paris, %, 900, 600; some small centers
of production, such as Trois Fontaines
1,500,000; Morez and neighborhood
4,000,000; st. Nicholas d'Aliermont
100000; BEAUFORT, Montbeliard, Sc
lincourt, 5000, 900; Cluses, 100000

An Interesting Experience.

I was sitting with police official at
his Office, and we were discussing some
fantastic story. when an employee came
in and sat down beside us, leaning with
his elbows on the table. l looked up
and said to him. "You haye forgotten
to make the SOUP" "No, no; come
with me-" We went out together, 60
ing across long corridors. 1 walking
behind him, at the college where l had
been brought up. He went into a wing
of the house which L knew well, and
which led to the class rooms. Under
the stairs he showed me stove on
which stood an oyster shell with little
white paint in it Il had been mixing
water colors the evening before). "But
you have forgotten the vegetables. Go
to the porter at the other end Of the
courtyard; you will find them there on
a table" / waited for long time; at
last saw him making signs to me that
he had found nothing. at is at the
left-hand side" 1 shouted, and saw him
cross the yard, coming back with an
immense cabbage. took knife from
my pocket, which always kept there,
and at the moment when l was going
to cut the vegetable was awakened by
the noise of bowl of soup being put
heavily on the marble top of the table
next to my bed.
1t appears to me that the idea Of
soup was suggested to me by the smell
at the moment when the door was
opened by the servant bringing in the
soup while was asleep, and it takes
five seconds at the most to walk from
the door to the bed.-Reuue Scien-

The Expansion of Methodism.

The wonderful expansion of Method
ism during the life of its founder is
perhaps without precedent in religious
history. In 1870 its only adherents
were a handful of Oxford students !;
twelve years later it numbered LOO
members in London; long before the
end of the century all Great Britain
and nearly all the American colonies
had rung with the eloquence of White
field or with the soberer but hardly
less effective appeals of Wesley him
self; meeting houses had sprung up in
every important town, an army of mis-
sionaries was engaged in itinerating
over the country, and partly through
Lady Huntingdon's influence Method
ism had found considerable amount
of acceptance even in the higher ranks
of society. Franklin's testimony to
the power of Whitefeld's preaching is
we'll known; but Chesterfield, Boiling
broke, and even Hume were also among
his hearers. At the time of Wesley's
death, in 1871, the Methodist Church,
or Connection, as it was called, num-
bered above 800 preachers in Great
Britain alone and nearly 200 in the
United States, where the success of
the revolution had made il necessary
for Wesley to establish separate or
panization, under O superintendent,
whom to the horror of good church
men he consecrated as all but Bishop.
The number of members IN the United
Kingdom already exceeded 10000, and
rose to more than 100, 900 in the course
of the next decade. Considering how

A Famous Detective.

James Jackson, the famous State de-
tecti e. resides in Sing Sing, and is
generally in attendance at the prison.
His duties are to examine carefully the
face of every convict as he enters, and
TO scrutinize every visitor in order to
prevent any discharged convict from
seeing his pals. Occasionally he has to
make long journeys in pursuit of run
away prisoners or to identify criminals
convicted in other States. He never
makes mistake; if once he
looks man in the eye he will
know him under AIRY disguise, as he
tells his man by the look of his eyes.
Once an escaped convict had his nose
pared down one-third, but Jackson de-
tected him at once, Notwithstanding
this remarkable change of feature. Mr..
Jackson is about feet inches in
height, about 30 years old, of light
and sinewy build, with black hair and
piercing black ewes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows about
10000 criminals. and it is simply
wonderful that he can distinguish
the features of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately,
anu Always TAXES one DIanuretn pm at
night. When much fatigued by the
jolting of the cars on his tiresome trips
he uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters
on the small of the back, which give
him renewed vigor, and quickly relieve
him of all WEAKNESS. These are the
only two remedies he uses, and he at
tributes his vigor and remarkable
health to Allcock's Porous Plasters
and Brandreth's Pills.-Sing Sing

Ueadly GrOwths.

A celebrated surgeon, acting on the
knowledge that epilepsy was frequently
caused by the pressure of a tumor or
extraneous growth upon the brain, re-
Gently opened the skull of an epileptic
patient, and removed the tumor. Re-
covery was slow but complete. The
patient regained the full use of his
limbs, his senses became more acute,

"Such an operation" the medical

There is curious analogy between
the moral ailments of the soul and
the body. The Jews always held
leprosy to be symbolic of sin in the
moral nature. First small, scarcely
perceptible spot, not skindeep, then a
subtle poison, attacking the whole man,
lastly, the ruin and corruption of every
member, making the victim loathed
outcast among his kind.
A more common sight than that of
an epileptic patient is that of young
men and women who begin zealously
and sincerely the Christian life.

forth rank growth in their nature.
1t may be small and apparently harm
less in itself-social ambition, personal
vanity, an inordinate love of amuse-
ment, of study, of managing the affairs
of others. But it is out of place, like
the tumor. 1t begins to press on the
seat of life. The victim becomes less
earnest in his prayers, tires easily in
study of the Bible and in daily duty.
Spiritually he becomes a cripple, an
imbecle, and at last-as to his relation
with Gods dead.
Il once was happy in heart" said a
young man: "for, whatever might hap
pen, L obeyed God, and in that
obedience felt the promise of larger
life than this. But have grown selfish,
and have become spiritually blind and
deaf. / feel that there was something
of infinite value in what / have lost"
II any boy or girl who is trying to
serve God find this moral lethargy
creeping over the soul, it is a sure sign
that some outward pressure is upon il
some unwholesome passion or appetite
which must be cut away. Do not spare
the knife. Cut it off and cast it fsom
you before it is altogether too late.

WHY Rosco Conkling Wears a Curl.

A lady tells this about Roscoe Couk-

visiting my fathers family the horse
and sulky were brought up to the door
and my father was just getting ready
to start out for ride among his pa
tents. Young Roscoe thought he
would get some life out of the old
horse, took pin and stuck it in his
launches, when the usually staid ami
NAL suddenly gave kick and hit Ros-
coe severe blow on his forehead, cut
ting a cash that to this day leaves a
scar on the brow. And this is why the
ex-senator permits little curl to drop

A Fortune In Eggs.

IF owned all the hens in this
country" said the marketman, as he
counted out dozen eggs and put them
IN customers basket, "and had place
to pasture them, would ask just ten
years in business and I'd be the boss
millionaire"
"How's that?"
"How's that? Maybe you don't
know, young man, that over 26, 600, 600
cackles each day, announcing the birth
OF the same number of eggs, kept the
farmer boys busy last year gathering
in the efforts of $4,000, 900 hensl But
they did. Well, those efforts for 800
days resulted in 5000, 000,0 900 sep
arate and distinct eggs, or 500, 600, 900
dozen, as near as L can calculate. Now,
1t took just $50, 900, 900 dozen of those
eggs to supply the demand for Tom
and ferries, buildings, hard and soft
boiled eggs, egg-nog, and ham and
eggs at that. l figure that thirty cents
dozen for 1886 was about the average
price. Thirty cents dozen for 720,-
0.000 dozen climbs up to the comforta-
BILE little purse of 1925, 900, 900. There's
nothing mean about me, and if L had
tion's hens I'd be satisfied with profit
OF two cents on dozen.
Last year must have been a good
one for people visiting in the country,
for folks broiled, fricasseed, and roast
ed something like coo, 900, 900 chickens,
young and old. That used up the bal
ance of $4,000, 600 dozen eggs. That
100000 dozen were turned into
chickens that gobbled up $500, 900, 600
of the hard-earned coin of this realm,
ciphering the thing down close, at fifty
cents a chi, ken. / don't deal in poul-
try, but from the size of the diamond
pins of the ones that do, don't hest
tate minute to say that there can't
be less than five cents profit on every
chicken they sell. Last year New York
took 25,000,000 dozen of eggs to satisfy
her, and she paid $4,000, 600 to get
them. Now, New York State only
keeps hens enough to lay about 5000,
600 dozen, and so, of course, we have
to go knocking around all over the
country and part of Canada to keep up
with the cry for eggs. 1t would take
all the eggs that New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts
hens are responsible for to supply this
city with all the eggs it wants. The
25,O00,000 eggs used here last year, if
laid in a single line, one after another,
with q hairs space between them,
would reach from Boston to San Fran
cisco. L tell you, there's a big thing
waiting for some one who can get a
corner on eggs. "-NeU York Mail and

Stopping Runaway Horses.

The following method of stopping
runaway horses would seem to be good,
but few horse-owners would care to
advertise the vicious character of their
animals by such conspicuous device
neither would the owner of horse
ordinarily safe wish to adopt such a
cumbersome continuance as regular
part Of his harness: "Place a cord
with running knot around the horses
neck near the neck strap. To this
slip-noose attach pair of reins which
may be thrown over the dashboard

tighten the horses throat. The most
furious horse thus checked stops in

that the uminiferous ether, supposed

that a volume of it equal to about
twenty volumes of the earth would
weigh one pound, tension such that
